CFN Thread #9 (Better call Planning)

WhatIsThisWatt · 02/08/2017 18:24

Okay so I wasn't going to post until I'd had some kind of resolution. However, planning called today to ask if they could access my garden on Friday as they need to do some "further investigation" and have another planning official who will be there to oversee it??

They wouldn't tell me over the phone what it was about (it wasn't Nice Planning Lady, it was someone I hadn't spoken with before)

Thanks pp for the thread title - which coincidentally was very apt!

No sign of CFN/ builders etc.

There's now a sign up saying
NO ENTRY IN TO PRIVATE GARDEN
CONTACT SOLICITORS NAME if you require further information.

That's what I've been doing. Pulls up the full thread, doesn't go to the post.

BUT DAILYFAIL - IF YOU ARE LURKING - I RETAIN FULL INTELLECTUAL RIGHTS TO MY POSTS AND SO DO ALL OF THE LYRICISTS/ SPEECHWRITERS/ PLAYWRIGHTS/ POETS/PISS ARTISTS ON HERE, SO YOU PRINT NOTHING WITHOUT GIVING US SHITLOADS OF CASH - OKAY?!?!?!?!?

Unfortunately that's not how it works.

Did the OP say if she managed to get today off?

They'll have to make a special CFN section, to include parking war thread's too. 😁

WhatIsThisWatt · 04/08/2017 10:52

Wow we're on page 28 already?!?! Haha!

Okay, planners are coming at 12 today, I've just popped over to Ken's to top up on coffee and fancy biscuits (he didn't have and scones unfortunately) he asked me to come back over later and tell him how it went.

NNDN also very excited for news - maybe I should just put a poster up in the shop? Grin

They advised the "may" need to remove what has been left outside. I think they mean the large piece of original brickwork but we will find out.

SpanGran very excited, she's been up since 6 Grin

My first post, I have been lurking and watching. Wonder when they will get to Watty today!!

SteppingOnToes · 04/08/2017 10:55

Scones? Can we have the debate - jam first or cream first? Personally I put jam on the bottom, cream on the top, and open my mouth really wide...

YetAnotherSpartacus · 04/08/2017 10:58

I really hope that you see justice OP!

bookbook · 04/08/2017 11:00

Stepping - we are now past this fist fight debate , now onto butter/no butter , homemade v bought jam , and which one ....... Blackcurrant has been mentioned. My own favourite is my home made rhubarb and vanilla :)

TheMaddHugger · 04/08/2017 11:02

Can you [op] record the whole meeting and post it here so we can be there too

Looks hopefully at OP

VinIsGroot · 04/08/2017 11:04

Started reading and thought ... bleuggghhhh gonna have to wait until Friday.....then I realised... IT'S FRIDAY!!!😁😁😁
....and it's 11:00..... What do do for an hour??? 🤔

Aworldofmyown · 04/08/2017 11:06

stepping Jam on top of cream is an abomination.

GladAllOver · 04/08/2017 11:06

You should set up a cctv camera in your garden and have it streaming on the web. I'm sure we could all contribute to the cost to see it all happening live.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 04/08/2017 11:10

Unfortunately that's not how it works

In that case I vote leave as is C8 - it's a bit harder for the CFS-OJs* to sort through.

I've never appreciated MN properly before this thread. Truly not. Am officially out of lurkerdom now, and rather too excited about wattyyy's post-midday update!

KeiraKnightleyActsWithHerTeeth · 04/08/2017 11:15

So frigging excited for the planner news.
Full descriptions of the cast, please. Grin

Between this and waiting for my sister to have her baby (she has been induced and is now very impatient) I have a day of anticipation. What fun.
